Energy

Just curious on everyones 'journey', when did you get your energy back?  I did a load of laundry and thought I ran a marathon.  Everything feels so exurting!  I am doing the Thomas Recipe so I am sure that can help but no appetite makes you weak too.  Just curious wbout everyone.

Thanks for all the input, very encouraging.  My husband is cleaning the house.  A little too good, and said that as soon as I get the energy lets keep it all up.  I think he appreciates me more.  He lets me keep our room 'messy' and said if it doesn't bother me it's ok but if it does he will clean it up.  I am a very hyper energetic person and this SUCKS!!  The protein shakes, thanks, I do do that and am going to make one now.  I put choc powder, pnut butter, bannanas, ice and milk and blend it up and YUM!!   I am out of bananas, for you all know what reason.  I know the cleanest bathrooms in my town now!  LOL!!  Anyway, I am going to make one now and get going to shop a little.  I know I abused my body for so long that I do have to let it heal.  Thank God for my saint of a hubby!!  His day is coming though, hopefully soon.  I get happy burst too but boy do I cry for no reason too.  Weird, feeels like severe PMS!!!

It took me about 40 day's. Now i feel just about right.

I thought something was wrong when the energy did not come back in two weeks.

But no big deal it just takes time..

it takes a long time for some. I'm still lacking energy and its been about 4 weeks now. I've been eating mega men vitamins from gnc like candy and B-12 and Red Bull and Monsters and it's getting there.

wow that is a tough one for me..Because i used for about 3 yrs, i guess i had forgetten what my old energy use to be like...So even now at 5 months clean , it is not like it was back then...BUT in this time, i had a terrible surgery , lost alot of blood....That contributes to that...BUT i always tell myself, the reason i started was pain, the reason i took when not in pain was the energy, i would have house spic and span, all cloths was always done, etc,, but once that goes away and tolerence builds u just keep taking not to get sick...AND NEVER EVER get that first time feeling again...
So if this makes any sense, i am happy with what i have..I realize my house doesn't have to be spotless, etc...
But having the clear head, no more spending money, lying to docs, and family is worth more then anything to me...I was so tired of the chase...and merry- go - round.
I do beleive that this does alot to our brains when on for yrs, so it will take a while to feel like we were yrs ago....
hope this made some sense!!!
every day makes a difference
So keep going, god bless

The energy came in bursts after about day 7...but i worked out 3x a week and i think that really  helped....i am 22 days and the last 3 days i have felt great....

Never been on a journey quite like this one before!!!!
What a journey it has been, huh?
